Roger. We are sending the drones.
Is anyone on this forum actually concerned that the NSA might be spying on them? Do you really think you're interesting enough?I have read this exact statement on many forums. I always ask the same questions......
Why didn't you fill in all of the information about yourself on this forum? Why didn't you use your real name instead of "nihilism"? You posted NOTHING about yourself. NOTHING!!!
You did not even put your gender or age or country you are from.
What are you afraid of?
Going right back to the origin of the whole NSA spying revelations, an excellent and thoughtful interview with Edward Snowden has come out.
http://benswann.com/media-blacks-out-new-snowden-interview-the-government-doesnt-want-you-to-see/
It seems that mainstream news outlets worldwide are refusing to carry this, and it gets taken down from most video streaming sites. But it's still available at http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f93_1390833151
Many fascinating details in that interview, including on the NSA's capabilities. He's a very intelligent man, and a great hero. Well worth watching, to bear in mind next time you hear some govt. flunky slandering him.
The main reason people are thrifty with personal information, is to protect themselves from scammers and identity thieves, not so much to prevent their own government snooping. In the 'free' world that is.
To the ballot box.
Have you cracked it.?
@ chickenHeadKnob. You are sort of right, Its a superenciphered code thats around 70 years old, The starting language is Japanese, the allies called the code JN25. It was quite regularly read at least partially back in those days despite the starting point being a one time substitution pad before then being coded and recoded with one time additive's. Should be a walk in the park for the NSA, after all John Tiltman and his team were doing it all by hand.
To the ballot box.

Of which there are none in the USA. It's all electronic voting, using systems that have been absolutely established are heavily rigged, effectively to the point of the highest bidder winning each election. Incidentally the vote tallies are conducted by private companies - there's no such thing as the Electoral Commission as we have in Australia. Effectively the vote counting and reporting gets to be done by the media corporations. And it's been legally established by at least one court case in the US that the media corporations have _no_ legal obligation to be truthful in their reporting.
There are many astonishing cases of clear vote fraud each time the US has elections. Many claim that the US hasn't had a valid presidential election for over a decade.
Then there's the whole issue of how functional democracy is, when most people get all their news through six corporations that own virtually all the mainstream print and electronic news channels.
Two groups that tracks vote fraud:

So... what if he's just Putin's boy?

I completely agree with this. I assume the government monitors some/all of my communications to some degree, and am not at all worried about it (since I'm not a criminal, and not self-important enough to think anyone at the government is sitting around listing to my "extremely interesting" conversations).

Not an usual mindset. I am sure Reinhard Heydrich was very pleased by the same mindset held by average Germans of the time. As a Navy discard (he was kicked out of the Navy) He rebuild his career with his then innovative database of people using index cards.
Mere index cards as easy to sort/access database was his technology innovation. Yet that simple innovation was enough to give him the ability to conduct intimation that he was one of the most feared by even the "non-criminal" fellow Nazi members.
Anything can be misused by bad people. That those Germans were not criminals doesn't mean information collected about them would not be used by criminals.
So, until I am assured that only self-less people like Mother Teresa works at the government, I would not think it is wise to give them tools so easy to abuse.
Further conversation about whether you think I am merely paranoid or I think you are merely naive will be too far from technology.
But who knows, may be indeed all those who is working for our government are indeed self-less people like Mother Teresa thus it is okay to give them tools so easy to abuse. I rather doubt it, but if you say so, I wont take your word for it but I wont argue.

I -didn't- say so. "self-less people like Mother Teresa" were your words, not mine, so don't attribute them to me. I've said nothing of the sort. I simply have more faith in our population to prevent something like Nazi Germany (also your reference not mine) than German society demonstrated as it was structured at that time.
But you are right about exactly one thing. This could easily turn into an ugly brawl that would serve no purpose other than to get this thread locked.
